      The Senate Community Affairs Committee reports favorably Senate Bill No. 1401.

      This bill would appropriate $360,000 to the Division of Fire Safety in the Department of Community Affairs to offer or approve educational programs for incident management training as required under P.L.1995, c.266. This incident management training would enable a fire service to implement a coordinated attack on a fire emergency by controlling the position and duties of all fire fighters, while also regulating rest and work cycles and providing a safety focus at each fire scene.
